Moderate blog comments from your Desktop!!

Two comments awaiting for moderation on my blog!

Two comments awaiting for moderation on my blog!

To moderate blog comments, Most of us login to wordpress admin and check for any new comments awaiting to be moderated.

I discovered couple of days back that now there is no need to check wordpress admin every hour to see whether there are any new comments or not.

All it takes is a wordpress plugin and an application. The application sits in your Desktop – System tray and notifies whenever there is a new comment made on your blog, something similar to yahoo messenger or Gtalk.

Isn’t great?

The Wordpress plugin is Moderator. and is written by Daniel Dura

Moderator is a combination of a WordPress plugin and an Adobe Air Application.

Adobe AIR application will sit on your desktop in system tray:

  1. Viewing unmoderated comments.
  2. Dock and system tray notifications of the number of unmoderated comments.
  3. Accept, delete, and spam comments from within the desktop client.
  4. Close application window, or minimize it to the system tray while running.
  5. Shows the Gravatar icons for the user who posted the comment.

Install and activate the plugin, then download and install the Adobe Air application. Once the installation goes smoothly, you will see a black colored window appearing. Just enter wordpress username and password. Its Done!!

CommentLuv Wordpress Plugin

CommentLuv Wordpress Plugin

I am big fan of CommentLuv Wordpress plugin developed by Andy Bailey from FiddyP. I published a post few months back on How to get more comments and visitors by using CommentLuv Plugin.

I am using CommentLuv plugin on this wordpress blog from May 2008. Andy got so many inputs from the bloggers for improving CommentLuv plugin and his zeal made him to improve the plugin. This week he has released a new version of CommentLuv called AjaxCommentLuv.

From CommentLuv:

CommentLuv and AjaxCommentLuv enable you to reward your blog readers by leaving a titled link to their last post automatically whenever they comment thus encouraging more comments by more people on more posts!

It has been found to increase comments and traffic to blogs and their commentators. It currently runs as a Wordpress or Drupal plugin with a new AJAX version coming soon compatible with a wide range of blogs.

The previous version of commentluv used to grab the last post of the commentator. But new verison of commentluv will allow the commentator to select any one of his/her from last 10 posts.

If you register your site for free at CommentLuv.com you will be able to open up lots of features that are for members only like link tracking so you can see which of the comments you make on CommentLuv blogs are getting the last blog post clicked. Do NOT enter a number if you do not have one

Steps to setup CommentLuv Plugin : (skip step 2 to 4 if you don’t want to register your site)

whos.amung.us Web Stats got a Whole New Look!

Friday, September 19th, 2008

If you glance over the sidebar, you will see a yellow color small widget with a number on it. Check below i have put the same tiny widget here.

web tracker

The number on that widget is the number of visitors/readers currently on this site.

It is a great widget. I have been using it since December 2007.

What is who.amung.us?

whos.amung.us was created to bring you innovative web stats. We are not traditional. Page views are too easy to count. Instead, our widgets tell you how many users are on your website or blog right now, what pages they are on, how many of them there has been in the past, and where they come from – live.

I had already mentioned about this widget Who’s on your Site – Find on World Map in Real time. If you are new to this widget then i suggest you check the above mentioned post. It shows how to who.amung.us widget for your own website or blog.

Let me now focus on the main topic. Some 14 hours back i think Amung.us has updated the whole look of the website. Below is the screenshot of who.amung.us web stats of this website.

whos.amung.us - Dashboard page

If you check my previous post that i mentioned above and compare the image above, you can see that the whole look has changed.
